*.Mpeg and *.mpg support

[Peetz]

Hello then,
Spgm-vid can't play mpeg or mpg movies as it is now. Is there a way to use these movie-files with spgm-vid as well...?

Hope someone can help me, have a lot of mpeg-clips which I'd like to put online.

Thnx, Greetz

I will investigate this.

Although, if I remember back to when I was writing SPGM-Vid, I was having problems mpeg movies.  It might have been my sample movie.  I'll try and get this working now.

That would be great!!   Looking forward to your results!

Actually it is possible to mod the code a bit to have it play mpeg & mpg

in spgm-vid.php
around line 480:

Code Select Expand

 // If there isn't a thumbnail, set the default for the Video Type
 if (! $validated) {
   if ( ($arrVideoInfo[2] == 'asf' or $arrVideoInfo[2] == 'riff') ) {
$strThumbnailPath = $cfg['theme']['MPVideoTHB'];
} elseif ( $arrVideoInfo[2] == 'mpg' or $arrVideoInfo[2] == 'mpeg') {
$strThumbnailPath = $cfg['theme']['MPVideoTHB'];
} elseif ( $arrVideoInfo[2] == 'real' ) {
$strThumbnailPath = $cfg['theme']['RPVideoTHB'];
} elseif ( $arrVideoInfo[2] == 'swf' ) {
$strThumbnailPath = $cfg['theme']['SWVideoTHB'];
} elseif ( $arrVideoInfo[2] == 'quicktime' ) {
$strThumbnailPath = $cfg['theme']['QTVideoTHB'];
}
 }
 
 return $strThumbnailPath;
}


also find

// Shockwave Player

and before it add:

Code Select Expand


//Moded by Tearstar for playing of Mpeg and mpg files
//Tearstar's email tear_star@yahoo.com
} elseif ( ($arrVideoDim[2] == 'mpg' or $arrVideoDim[2] == 'mpeg' ) ) {
print '          <object id="MediaPlayer" CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701" standby="Loading Microsoft Windows® Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" width="'.$arrVideoDim[0].'" height="'.($arrVideoDim[1]+64).'">'."\n";
       print '            <param name="url" value="'.$strVideoURL.'" />'."\n";
       print '            <param name="AutoStart" value="true" />'."\n";
       print '            <param name="EnableTracker" value="false" />'."\n";
print '            <embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" src="'.$strVideoURL.'" width="'.$arrVideoDim[0].'" height="'.($arrVideoDim[1]+44).'" autostart="1" showcontrols="1">'."\n";
       print '          </object>'."\n";


find

Code Select Expand


if ( ($arrVideoDim[2] == 'asf' or $arrVideoDim[2] == 'riff') ) {
print '<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/">'.$cfg['theme']['MPVideoImage'].'</a>';

after it add

Code Select Expand


} elseif ( $arrVideoDim[2] == 'mpg' or $arrVideoDim[2] == 'mpeg') {
print '<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/">'.$cfg['theme']['MPVideoImage'].'</a>';

lastly open
spgm-vid.lib.php
at line 56

Code Select Expand

$cfg['global']['supportedVidExtensions']
and make it

Code Select Expand


//extensions for mpeg and mpg added by Tearstar
//email tear_star@yahoo.com for help
$cfg['global']['supportedVidExtensions'] = array('.asf', '.wmv', '.avi', '.mov', '.qt', '.rm', '.swf', '.mpg', '.mpeg');    // supported video file extensions



You can see it working here

also notice the video gallery has no refrence to picture gallery
that is located here

any other questions I will be glad to help.

On a side note I tried to just add

Code Select Expand

or $arrVideoDim[2] == 'mpeg' or $arrVideoDim[2] == 'mpg' into the same lines that called for the 'riff' and 'asf' formats, but it didn't seem to work, so I did it the above way.

Did you try this?

Code Select Expand

($arrVideoDim[2] == 'asf' || $arrVideoDim[2] == 'riff' || $arrVideoDim[2] == 'mpeg')

Also, I believe "getid3" returns "mpeg" for both "mpeg" and "mpg" so "$arrVideoDim[2] == 'mpg'" shouldn't be required.  I could be wrong, I haven't had time to test this.
